Steve Jobs
A-plus players like to work together and they don't like it if you tolerate B work.
Steve Jobs
I can help the next generation remember the lineage of great companies here and how to continue the tradition. The Valley has been very supportive of me. I should do my best to repay.

Steve Jobs
Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me.

Apple is the only company in the world that has all of that under one roof. We can invent a complete a solution that works - and take responsibility for it.

I always thought of myself as a humanities person as a kid, but I liked electronics. Then I read something that one of my heroes, Edwin Land of Polaroid, said about the importance of people who could stand at the intersection of humanities and sciences, and I decided that's what I wanted to do.

It's rare that you see an artist in his 30s or 40s able to really contribute something amazing. Of course, there are some people who are innately curious, forever little kids in their awe of life, but they're rare.
Steve Jobs
I am saddened, not by Microsoft's success — I have no problem with their success. They've earned their success, for the most part. I have a problem with the fact that they just make really third-rate products.
Steve Jobs
I think PCs are going to be like trucks. Less people will need them. And this is going to make some people uneasy.
Steve Jobs
What we're doing here will send a giant ripple through the universe.
Steve Jobs
The most important thing is a person. A person who incites your curiosity and feeds your curiosity and machines cannot do that in the same way that people can.
Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs
There are downsides to everything there are unintended consequences to everything.
Steve Jobs
I met Woz when I was 13, at a friend's garage. He was about 18. He was, like, the first person I met who knew more electronics than I did at that point. We became good friends, because we shared an interest in computer and we had a sense of humor. We pulled all kinds of pranks together.
Steve Jobs
And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don't get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We're always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it's only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.
Steve Jobs
Japan's very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don't think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things. They will get something that's already been invented and study it until they thoroughly understand it. In some cases, they understand it better than the original inventor.
